Hello Everyone! OK ppl, before we go any further, I did not meant to start a holy war over this 'stable' issue, my question was if 600 MB was enough for me to install debian Potato (which is the version I bought) on my laptop, I won't use it for any type of connection to the 'net nor do I want any spify graphics on it (it's an old Sharp Mebius, Pentium I class). X is cool for now, but I won't install anything that has to do with networks as of now.

Hello people! I have one of those old Sharp Mebius (Pentium I, I belive). So I'm installing debian and anXious comes in and asks me about what kind of mouse do I have, so I told debian that I have a PS/2, but I don't think it worked, I ran startx and all of a sudden the monitor seemed like it "melted" somehow, at the end it said "Mouse type not supported". How can I configure it? HELP! It's those square things below the keys where you move your finger around the surface in order to move the mouse. What kind of mouse is it?

Re: ACPI for toshiba satellite L775
On 07/03/2013 10:56 PM, Kevin Geidel wrote: Hello, I am new to linux and certainly new to mailing lists! I was directed here by a friend who finally got to look at my Toshiba Satellite L775 running Debian-based Linux Mint (Cinnamon?) I was unable to get the wireless card to activate despite having all the firmware apparently installed. There were a lot of commands he was using that I do not remember (although am happy to rerun and repost!) but said RFKILL had reported the card hard blocked and since there was no physical switch on the card there must be something else going on. A function key is supposed to turn wifi card on and off I guess ACPI is reponsible for this and is apparently an unsolved problem on the internet (thats when he directed me here.) His support for this hypothesis was all my function keys (brightness, volume etc) do not work. There is also a glitch when closing the laptop lid, I cannot wake it or its crashing, not sure but I guess ACPI is a related module. I have been asking for help on the linux mint fourms at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=194&t=133454 (I am also new to fourms, this has been memorable issue.) Thank you for your time and assistance!! Sincerely, Kevin Hi Kevin, I just happen to have a Satellite L755. I, too, started with Mint on this machine - it ran on this machine fairly well. I moved to Debian pretty quickly and have been using it for the last year and a half. Your question gives me a good reason to look back at my notes and see how well I documented the various hoops that I jumped through getting things to work. The first thing I notice reading your message is that I also had some WiFi problems, specifically the computer couldn't see my network using the default network manager. I installed wicd and it found the network immediately. Of course you may need to install wpa_supplicant if your router requires WPA security. Another thing that I did was edit /etc/default/grub (as root) and change the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= value to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset quiet nomodeset pcie_aspm=force" (After doing this, you must run "sudo update-grub") You didn't say whether you have an Intel or an AMD chipset. I have AMD, but I'm pretty sure that either is available in the L755 series. I have installed the packages "firmware-linux-nonfree" and "toshset". My volume, mute and brightness controls all work (now). Let me know if you need any more help, I'll do what I can.

Install on HP Pavilion ze5170
I'm having trouble installing Woody on this computer. If I use disk 1 to boot from everything goes fine until the base system is installed and I reboot. It starts to boot scrolling normally until it gets past the disk check then the penquin changes colors and it starts scrolling really fast and never comes out of it. If I boot from disk 5 (bf24) it locks up at the language choice screen. The same thing happens if I use disk 1 and type in bf24 at the boot prompt. Sorry for the poor discriptions but I'm a newbie and don't know the technical terms yet. Has anyone been successful installing debian on this model? And if so how did you do it? I've used the same disks to install on another machine without problems so I know the disks are good. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jay

Add the following to your /etc/lilo.conf file: prompt timeout=100 # Windows NT other=/dev/??? label=WinNT replacing "???" with the designator for your NT partition (e.g., hda1). Do "lilo -v" to kick the config changes into effect. Next reboot you should get the lilo prompt at which you can type the label of the OS you want (e.g., "Linux", "WinNT", etc.). After 10 seconds lilo will boot the default OS. If you want the default OS to be NT instead of Linux, change the "default=Linux" (or whatever it is now) to "default=WinNT" in lilo.conf & redo "lilo -v".

It depends somewhat on what file system type WinXP is using in hda1. From a Linux perspective, VFAT is safer than NTFS, especially for read-write. If you don't already know the type, use cfdisk to check it out. Assuming that your kernel supports the file system type, then do: mount -t -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt where "" is probably either "vfat" or "ntfs". If that seems to work, you can mount it read-write by dropping the "-o ro" for vfat, but I don't know if it's advisable to do so for ntfs: umount /dev/hda1 mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt If you want to get at it from other IDs than root, you might also have to use the "uid=" & "gid=" mount options, such as: mount -t vfat -o ro,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/hda1 /mnt You might also want to create a more descriptive mount point, such as: mkdir /WinXP mount -t vfat -o ro,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/hda1 /WinXP To unmount it, do: umount /dev/hda1 To look at the mounted file systems, just do: mount To make it automatic, translate the mount command into an entry in /etc/fstab. > What man page would explain this? mount(8) fstab(5) Jay Ford, Network Engineering Group, Information Technology Services University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], phone: 319-335-, fax: 319-335-5505 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Now when I > start my PC, it opens directly in the Linux.I don't have access to windows > NT. The other approach is to tell lilo about NT. Add the following to your /etc/lilo.conf file: prompt timeout=100 # Windows NT other=/dev/??? label=WinNT replacing "???" with the designator for your NT partition (e.g., hda1). Do "lilo -v" to kick the config changes into effect. Next reboot you should get the lilo prompt at which you can type the label of the OS you want (e.g., "Linux", "WinNT", etc.). After 10 seconds lilo will boot the default OS. If you want the default OS to be NT instead of Linux, change the "default=Linux" (or whatever it is now) to "default=WinNT" in lilo.conf & redo "lilo -v".

Netgear GA511 support?
